ballet suite for full or chamber orchestra
The story of Betty Fine and Robert Alder
"Don't take any wooden dimes" - a saying used a lot in the 1920s, meaning: "Don't be naive or don't be fooled."
Betty and Robert have a love that they think they know and they think will be forever, but situations, circumstance and their evolution as people inevitably change their relationship and therefore their love, and it ends up being nothing like they predicted.
